if you don't want a tweener or teen described as playing a character that's sexy, don't give them one.

1. That's nowhere near the dead horse SLC is.

2. Are we even talking about the same thing? Because this and this don't strike me as an attempt to play up the sexy. Mind you, I didn't appreciate some of the comments about Tukt's green dress last season either - even though that actually was rather tacky. Anyway, it was an unfortunate comment; FWIW, I think it was due to a large degree to inexperience. But this brings me back to my original point: don't try too hard when commentating, just be informative and try to be interesting.

Must say it was fun watching that LP, I'm not sure I've done so before and sometimes it's nice to take another look at skaters' early performances.

If 6.0 was so vague atleast a viewer understood immediately why a skater won.

I don't think so. I think there were as many cases in 6.0 that the results were not expected by some skating fans.

Maybe it's because I don't automatically believe something just because I read it on the internet

Maybe you just can't change your 6.0 way of thinking? People who were attached to 6.0 too deep have been having hardtime to adopt the new IJS.

Should they have kept quiet and told us everything was fair and square...

No one has said that don't point it out means that you have to say it was fair and square. They could have explained the facts that 4 judges gave them first but 5 judges gave them second. So they've gotten the second. Despite they've skated cleaner, some judges felt that the Russians still won. All facts, no judgement. Leave your judgement out means to leave your bias out. JMO.
